Saturday Gardening, Puttering and Outdoor Adventure ThreadI forgot to send this picture from Valentine's Day. A few of the local herd bedded down in the back yard early one morning. We've trimmed up the evergreen (arborvitaes and firs) because the deer have eaten the greenery off the bottoms. Now they have a protected place to contemplate the world. Obviously we don't grow much in these parts at this time of year. Well, you grow what you can grow. A lovely photo. Below, a very special wildlife video: I've got another slomo video of birds around our feeders made up of clips I recorded here in the great white north since last summer. Too great to describe. Edible Gardening ![]() (not in a compost cage) This tomato is known at "The Brandywine of Europe", though it is smaller. Probably easier to grow. The tomato above was grown by The Famous Pat*, who also gave us some pointers on making compost at the end of 2020. There's still time. Speaking of European tomatoes, I have grown some 'Cosmonaut Volkov' tomatoes from their seed that were so good they made your eyes roll back in your head. Didn't last all season in our heat, though. They were named after a cosmonaut who died upon landing, by his friend, a Ukrainian horticulturist during the Soviet era, who chose the variety from thousands of possibilities. ![]() Last week, we had some discussion about bletting medlars. Today, we are fortunate to have some medlar photos from Grimmy: It's from last fall, and I took the pictures to send in, but never did! The row of trees is mostly quince and medlar, which I planted after seeing them so frequently during my deployments to the Balkans. The medlar fruits are small and rock hard at first...you have to let them freeze and thaw a few times to better (rot?) so they're soft enough to eat. One of my Kosovar counterparts had a tree with fruit on it when I visited his place in January. They were shriveled looking and brown, but you just picked them off the tree, bit through the skin a little, and sucked out the inside. Very weird. Thick, sticky, and kind of like cinnamon applesauce mixed with a fig newton. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hi KT, Chiltepin hot sauce . . . . Gardens of The Horde I mostly lurk on the gardening thread but a reference you made last week encouraged me to send you this picture of the determined daffodils in my back yard. They have seemingly been in the same spot for more than a decade, and reappear without fail during February or March, as my harbinger of Spring. They produce a lovely stand of daffodils for a month or two during the March/April timeframe, then turn into flowerless stalks for another month or two before disappearing. Every summer and fall, I mow and walk over their spot, thinking I will never see another daffodil. ![]() Thanks! Your photo reminded me of this: ![]() More Springwatch: I had a spring preview this past week (75F on Wed!) before getting back to the cold pattern that is continuing into March. I was able to dig up my arbor vitae stump with a lot less trouble than I expected. No wonder it started to fall over from the Jan snow - that is kind of a puny rootball for a tree that was almost 15 ft tall. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you would like to send information and/or photos for the Saturday Gardening Thread, the address is: ktinthegarden Include the nic by which you wish to be known when you comment at AoSHQ, | Recent Comments
